Bann botting help us fair players

Well I think what needs to be discussed first is the question, what is botting?

From what I know about today's little mishap, which as far as I know sparked this post, was simply an anonymous player AFK training and using the external arrow keys to keep the screen spinning and keep him logged in. I personally don't see this as something that is bannable but you have to consider the fact that the game would have logged said player out without the player using methods to keep 'training.'

Seeing as the server is new and growing at a steady pace AND the xp rates are so low, we can entertain the fact that people will be attracted to macros and possible 3rd party programs that may alter the gameplay for everyone. However the fact that xp rates are low, should not be the main reason for allowing such activity because of the fact that this is meant to be as close to real runescape as possible. So the grounds for that argument seem to be rather weak.

Personally what worries me most about macroing/botting or using some sort of AFK method is that it makes my personal runescape game seem lonely. The other day one of the people said in the yell chat that the update that really ruined the grand exchange was the fact that it took out the interactions between players. No longer haggling prices and communicating with other people to obtain goods, the game became lonely and I believe that the same thing can be seen when people are AFK training.
